If this is true. It is a sad day for OSU. Gundy did more for OSU football than any other coach-by a large margin. Yes, Jimmy J. had a day, but he got out ASAP. Gundy's strength and weakness are his stubbornness. He refused to accept that OSU couldn't be a major player in the B12. His strength and steadfastness made them a significant force in the B12. Unfortunately, he has issues with change. Boone Pickens forced him to stop being the offensive coordinator and made him focus on head coach duties. NIL is the girl that he refuses to dance with......even though everyone else at the party is waiting in line for her. I'll bet Gary Patterson and he are best buds!

Gundy wanted to get get fired, bigger payout.

I doubt they’re any more underfunded than over half the B12 but they’re on the bottom.

No college coach can be successful in this day and age without a strong NIL program. Not sure how much of OSU’s problems are tied to OSU’s lack of NIL or Gundy’s disdain for NIL. Seems like OSU’s $ dried up with no T Boone.

@Bobby Burton @Gerry Hamilton missed on this one this morning. I didn’t have it either. Maybe @Joe Zura can get Lanning to take over at OK St.

This isn't a Oklahoma St problem, it's a Mike Gundy problem. How as a program can you have your HC refuse to use the portal and hate NIL. <Insert his Oregon NIL rant here from just a few weeks ago as proof he still hates NIL> He was lucky he wasn't fired earlier this year after the sit down with the powers to be. If anything in 2025 Gundy was holding them back as a program with his refusal. Adapt or die, he chose to die....it's on him. I He's 21-21 the past 4 season overall and 11-16 in conference play. Those records were only going to worsen as this season plays out.

Board and boosters have an inflated sense of what they can accomplish here. This won't get them any further this season; it won't help recruiting; it won't speed up the rebuild. Gundy is the program. End of story. They should have waited and cut ties at the end of the season. They could have still looked for a replacement and set things up. If anything, their negotiating position is worse now. It's mind boggling how business people get overly emotional when it comes to sports and end up shooting themselves in the foot.

If they roll over and play dead he’s gone. If they play hard he’ll stay for the time being.

Wow, please forward these to the staff. I bet they haven’t seen these!

Timing is odd considering they have only played three games. I’m guessing we’ll see a few quit and redshirt.

Seemed like the players quit on him. Got to cut the cancer.

Any potential players to poach because of the coaching change?

It will be g6 schools and likely lower tier. No reason to schedule tough OOC games outside of the 1 big game a year that is already scheduled.

Great coach

Can't stand gameday myself. Unfortunately, McAffee is popular, so that probably won't happen. Don't think Gundy would agree to the analyst roll at this point. Patterson did, but Gundy has a much bigger personality.

Oklahoma State has 11 seasons of 10 wins in 124 years of playing football. Mike Gundy coached 8 of those 11 seasons. Historically they are a bottom dweller programs except for the Gundy years. I would say regardless of anything else he deserved better than to be fired in the middle of the week a quarter through the season. They may never get back to another 10 win season ever again.

On Texas' 2027 FB schedule, there are only 2 contracted out-of-conference games, so far. I'd love to see a mid-level P4 school like NC St or Wake or Cal or Stanford fill the hole. As home game for us. Any thoughts? [NO Texas Tech or Houston]

Replace mcaffee and I’m sold. I could watch gameday again

As I said on another thread. Hire him now as an analyst to fix and innovate the run game. (QB and RB run game)

Gundy needs to go into TV. He'd be great on a pre-game show, interviewing other coaches, throwing out zingers.

I wouldn’t hire him or Dabo in this current environment. Without a huge bump in resources that program feels like it could be on a big decline.

No doubt. Should have waited until the end of the season. My guess on the Tuesday morning timing is they tried to get him to agree to a reduced buyout and a "resignation." He wouldn't do it, and they fired him. Maybe they win a game or two more than they would have, but this is bad for their program.

Tough to lose a character like that. College football needs the gundy , leach, and kiffin types.

He was a huge thorn in our side in the BigXII. Good luck to whatever he does next and God bless him no matter what.

Heckuva run. This opens the portal window for OSU's players. They got any OL or RB worth looking at?
